Haven Brothers is bringing city street food to Portsmouth

For 100 years, Haven Brothers Diner has been a fixture of downtown Providence, with weekly visits to Providence College. More recently, the diner expanded its fleet to include three catering food trucks. This April 13, from 4 to 8pm, Ragged Island Brewing in Portsmouth will host a Haven Brothers pop-up food truck. Teaming up with a brewery only makes sense: the food truck is popular with late-night bar-hoppers and partygoers, who often end their nights waiting in line for a Haven hamburger. “A lot of people would come to the diner late night, after the club,” says Patrizia Prew, daughter of owner Sal Giusti. “But as they get older, family life sets in and they don’t come downtown as much. For us to come out to them [at Ragged Island] is huge. People get excited about it. It brings back a lot of memories.” Portsmouth
